<strong>NAME</strong>
     htdigest - Create and update user authentication files

<strong>SYNOPSIS</strong>
     <strong>htdigest</strong> [ -<strong>c</strong> ] <em>passwdfile realm username</em>

<strong>DESCRIPTION</strong>
     <strong>htdigest</strong> is used to create and update the flat-files used to
     store  usernames,  realm and password for digest authentica-
     tion of HTTP users.   Resources  available  from  the  <strong>httpd</strong>
     Apache web server can be restricted to just the users listed
     in the files created by <strong>htdigest.</strong>

     This manual page only lists the command line arguments.  For
     details  of  the  directives  necessary  to configure digest
     authentication in <strong>httpd</strong> see the Apache manual, which is part
     of   the   Apache   distribution   or   can   be   found  at
     http://www.apache.org/.

<strong>OPTIONS</strong>
     -c   Create the <em>passwdfile</em>. If <em>passwdfile</em> already exists, it
          is deleted first.

     <em>passwdfile</em>
          Name of the file to contain  the  username,  realm  and
          password.  If  -c is specified, this file is created if
          it does not already exist, or deleted and recreated  if
          it does exist.

     <em>realm</em>
          The realm name to which the user name belongs.

     <em>username</em>
